Mentoring Program

The 2026 Mentoring Program is about to kick off and will be free for PMI Tasmania Chapter members.

​

Registrations are open for Mentors and Mentees for the 2026 Mentoring Program.  This year's Program will kick off with an information webinar for interested parties on Thursday 19th February.

​

If you are interested in becoming a Mentor or Mentee for the 2026 Mentoring Program, register HERE.

​

The Mentoring Program provides an opportunity for Mentees to enhance professional skills and to enjoy working collaboratively with a supportive mentor to achieve your goals. It is also an opportunity for mentors to give back to the profession and to share experience and knowledge with less experienced project managers, or those taking on new and different challenges.

​

How does it work?

  • Matching of Mentors and Mentees is based on individual preferences and overlaps in needs and capabilities.

  • You will complete an assessment to help us understand your needs and preferences.

  • If you prefer to match with someone who lives in your region, that will be considered in the matching process.

  • Mentees can only have one Mentor.

  • Mentors can have multiple Mentees but must meet with them separately.

  • A member can be a Mentor and Mentee at the same time, e.g. be mentored by another mentor and provide mentoring to another member.

  • You don’t have to be a senior or older person to be a Mentor, we are looking for diverse skills, experience and backgrounds.

  • The program facilitates further matches at other times, subject to the availability of Mentors.

​

Timeline

19th February 2026:

  • A virtual kick-off will be held for Mentors with Mentees.

  • Following the kick-off a matching process will be conducted.

​

Throughout the Year:

  • Mentors and Mentees agree their goals and programs and commence meeting regularly (recommended at least monthly).

​

Late 2026:

  • We celebrate the year’s successes with Mentors and Mentees presenting on their shared journeys.

​

And beyond:

  • Mentors and Mentees can continue their relationship beyond 2026 by mutual agreement.

​

Please note:  The 2026 Mentoring Program is hosted by PMI Melbourne Chapter.  Members of PMI Tasmania Chapter are able to participate under a partnership with the PMI Tasmania Chapter.

Benefits of the Mentoring Program

Mentoring is based on encouragement, constructive comments, openness, mutual trust, respect and willingness to learn and share. It is also a serious commitment for mentors who give their time to mentees.

​

Mentoring has become an increasingly popular method of developing professional skills and knowledge. Benefits of mentoring include:

  1. Opportunity for mentees to enhance project management and people skills.

  2. Opportunity for both mentors and mentees to learn about project management approaches in other companies, industries and countries.

  3. An accountability framework for engaging with professional goals.

  4. PDUs can be claimed by mentors and mentees.

  5. Just in time support: Mentees receive information and support when they need it.

  6. Relevance: work issues can be discussed and progressed.

  7. Satisfaction for mentors when they see mentees achieving their goals.

  8. Issues discussed during mentoring meetings are strictly confidential.
